## What is Friction?

The more you scroll, the slower it gets.

The more you scroll, the less addictive it feels.

Friction makes distracting apps less addictive by reducing the instant rewards that keep you scrolling.

Choose the apps that tend to pull you in. As you spend more time in them, Friction gradually slows them down. Apps like Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Reddit become a little less fast, less seamless, and less rewarding the longer you use them.

Those small delays interrupt the habit loop that keeps you scrolling without thinking. Instead of every swipe leading instantly to the next video or post, occasional pauses give your brain a chance to catch up and decide whether you actually want to keep going. A visible timer also keeps your screen time in view, making it easier to notice when you've been scrolling longer than intended.

Friction doesn't block apps or ask you to quit them. It simply makes the most distracting apps a little less addictive, so they're easier to put down.

Use Friction to:

Make distracting apps less addictive over time
Reduce the instant rewards that fuel endless scrolling
Break automatic scrolling habits with gentle pauses
Keep a visible timer on screen
Spend less time on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and more
Build healthier phone habits without blocking the apps you enjoy
